Jose Mourinho has placed John Stones on a shortlist of players he would like to sign for Manchester United this summer, according to a report.

The former Chelsea manager is an extremely unpopular figure at Everton after he relentlessly and publicly pursued Stones at last summer while at Stamford Bridge.

Everton were eventual victors in that situation, fending off bids upwards of £30million, but Italian transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has tweeted out a list of candidates that Mourinho wants at Old Trafford, with Stones included.
